Answer:

11/15

Step-by-step explanation:

To answer this, add (combine) 1/3 and 2/5.

First we must rewrite these fractions with the same denominator, the LCD.

The LCD here is obtained by multiplying the denominators 3 and 5 together, obtaining 15.

Thus, 1/3 + 2/5 becomes 5/15 + 6/15, which, in turn, is 11/15.

The fraction of the total inventory that is children’s or women’s clothing

is 11/15.
